In this episode, you and I are going to roll up our sleeves and dig into how to build a parenting support system. We’ll explore what social justice actions like pod mapping can teach us about how to build a parenting support system that’s based on trust, reciprocity, and interdependence. We’ll also unpack how inner child wounds can sometimes make this interdependence and community building work so uncomfortable and challenging.  --------------------------- Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcast [https://my.captivate.fm/comebacktocare.com/podcast] For more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare [https://www.instagram.com/comebacktocare/] on Instagram!

I first shared this episode with you last November and my mailbox got flooded with kind feedback from so many listeners saying how compassionate and concrete the strategy was. So, I’d love to share it with you again today, my dear co-conspirator. In this episode, you and I will explore a framework for strategic communications that a political messaging expert and campaign advisor, Anat Shenker-Osorio [https://asocommunications.com/team/], teaches. Then, you’ll adapt and apply this three-part framework to craft your own statement that you can use to set boundaries and protect your peace with those who judge or critique your parenting choices. I’ll share various examples of what this framework can look like when the critiques range from “you’re too soft” to “you’re gonna let your child do that?” This way you can experiment with this framework, leave what doesn’t feel right, and as always make it your method. --------------------------- Get full show notes and more information at: comebacktocare.com/podcast [https://my.captivate.fm/comebacktocare.com/podcast] For more BTS of this podcast, follow @comebacktocare [https://www.instagram.com/comebacktocare/] on Instagram!
